Everyone has a story. Trials and the periods of growth we experience give life lessons for us to pass onto others who may need to hear the wisdom we gained from a lived experience. Honoring past lessons allows people to bring new perspectives to the pains that used to drain their energy. Every person who did something worthwhile went through moments that expanded their capacity to follow their true calling.

As summer ends, today’s conversation transitions into a talk about Life Calling in respect to college education and college experiences. There is so much that is not covered when people talk about preparing students for college, and a lack of insight for parents as well. Currently, my wife and I are going through the same process with our daughter Asia right now. We’re being helped by Carol Ben-Davies, founder of College Bound Determination, a higher education consulting...
Life Calling can be fulfilled through work. This isn’t always the case, but there are roles that allow us to share our Life Calling and support our lifestyle. One example that comes to mind is a job at a nonprofit. Today, we’ll look at the nonprofit field as a place where people can openly pursue various callings.

Stepping into your Life Calling is a journey, and everyone begins in a different place....

Failure is a common reason people find themselves avoiding the next step, so today I talk about taking big and small steps towards larger goals. A poem by Erin Hanson gives...
This thing called the Great Resignation is gaining more and more attention in the United States. People have resigned from jobs in record numbers in this year alone, with one reason being that people are not treating work as the Ultimate anymore.
